CAPTAIN BLACK TO SPEAK AT THE

CAPTAIN BLACK TO SPEAK AT THE
FUNERALS.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-The one mourner
to be looked for above all others in
the crowded death chamber at the
home of August Spies was missing
this afternoon. Among the throng
of weeping women and stern looking
men there was no sign of Nina, the
proxy wife. Captain Black was there
careWorn, but impasSiye. In reply to
a question by An Associated Press re-
porter, the anarchists lawyer said
earnestly, No, Nina is not here.
She is performing a high duty. In
the darkened room below this she is
comforting the sister and mother of
Spies"
How, can that be Captain" was
askeds sis she not distracted and
weeping herself?"
NEEDED, no." was the mournful re-
ply. ''I wish in my heart she were.
So far as can learn Nina has not ut
tered one cry nor shed single tear. l
fear she cannot do so. She goes con-
stantly about, strangely calm, attend
ing to others. The girl must be looked
after"
And the Captain, seemingly choked
in the close atmosphere, moved out in
to the open air, and hurriedly turned
homeward. Before he had entered a
conveyance there was time to ask if he
would speak at the funeral tomorrow.
IF am alive l will speak" he
exclaimed. Then adding by way of
explanation: ''Yes, am to make an
expect to be alive to do it. Whatever
speaking there is to be done, will be
done right at the graves. The DISPOSE
ton is TO select only conservative men,
those who would confine their words to
the praise of the beauty of the mems
lives, and the explanation of their
principles. No one will be selected to
drive the people frantic"
OFF FOR JOLIET.

were the first objects that caught the
eyes of the early morning visitor at the

Parsons, Spies, Fischer and EDgel by
the undertakes and sent by the friends

state supplied the temporary collins,
and these were stacked in the court.

came to see their husbands, saw them
